Post by aaron • 08.01.04 •

Temuera Mor­ri­son, the New Zealan­der actor behind Jango Fett in Attack of the Clones, now voices Boba Fett in the upcom­ing DVD release of the Orig­i­nal Tril­ogy.

Hear Boba Fett’s line, “he’s no good to me dead” from the soon-to-be-released Empire Strikes Back DVD

Hear the orig­i­nal line from the pre–Attack of the Clones films.

You can hear all of Boba Fett’s lines in our Audio archive.

On an addi­tional note…

millenniumfalcon.com reports from a spy named Raith Sienar that the DVD also fea­tures an Easter Egg, or what’s known as hid­den bonus material:

“War­wick Davis short film of Wicket the Ewok fight­ing Boba Fett on the Death Star II, shot as a gag dur­ing the film­ing of Return of the Jedi.“

  1. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    How crule!

    Damn you Lucas!

    djmetallium on 08.02.04
  2. Ok. That’s it. That’s totally the last straw. I am now offi­cially boy­cotting every­thing star­wars from the re-editions of the tril­ogy for­ward. It didn’t hap­pen, that was just some hor­ri­ble night­mare. Should I want star­wars DVDs, I’ll sim­ply burn my orig­i­nal tril­ogy videos to DVD.

    Gwen on 08.02.04
  3. DOWN WITH GEORGE LUCAS!

    Just CANT leave well enough alone. If it AINT broke DONT fix it!

    therealmccoy on 08.02.04
  4. that is a poop on a stick. I can’t believe what hor­ri­ble sit­u­a­tions we’re being put through, I demand revenge. grrrrrr

    boba228 on 08.02.04
  5. curse you lucas curse you and your power

    bobadude925 on 08.05.04
  6. THAT IS BULLSHIT!!!

    [LS]-BobaFett on 08.05.04
  7. this really loses his authen­tic­ity. i do not under­stand why george lucas can not just leave it alone. boba fett was an enigma. now he’s becom­ing sold-out, for the sake of popularity.

    cloudpilot on 08.05.04
  8. This roy­ally Sucks!!!

    13o13a Fett on 08.06.04
  9. Its so hard to watch some­thing you love so much get roy­ally screwed so, SO bad.

    Maybe I wouldn’t care about these new DVD’s if Lucas gave the true Star Wars fan the pure, orig­i­nals as well. How­ever to harm the orig­i­nals in this way and then deny us of them com­pletely is so cruel an act.

    BUT to dare taint such orig­i­nal, mys­te­ri­ous and beloved a char­ac­ter as Boba Fett is a trully heinous act.

    No mat­ter how much Star Wars lit­er­a­ture changed Boba Fett, for bet­ter or for worse, one could always rest in the com­fort of the films. Pehaps the one thing that I never REALLY wanted to know about the Star Wars uni­verse were the ori­gins of Fett. Per­haps this is being a tad dra­matic but Boba WAS the mys­tery sur­round­ing him.

    I’m sure Lucas’ next big plan is to walk up to each and every one of us and slap us on the face. It would cor­re­spond with his “bril­liant” idea-pattern of late.

    Jumpy on 08.07.04
  10. (I for­got to men­tion… BOBA FETT ALREADY SOUNDED FREAKING COOL!!!!!!!!!!!)

    Jumpy on 08.07.04
  11. Oh good lord! If only Lucas paid more atten­tion to the new movies as he does to the orig­i­nals. HEY GEORGE! THE ORIGINALS WORK CAUSE THEYRE BELIEVABLE! Go back and fix EPI & II cause nobody believes that whole “Mediclo­rian” crap or the whole thing about how Anakin hasn’t stop think­ing of Padme since he was a lit­tle boy. What kind of messed up kid is that? No won­der he turned to the dark­side! If you really have the urge to go back and change some­thing, go and fix “Graf­fiti II”.

    LEAVE THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS TRILOGY ALONE!
    *****ESPECIALY BOBA FETT*****

    Joe on 08.09.04
  12. Maybe if Lucas had casted Fett right for “Clones” in the first place, he wouldn’t have to go back and “fix” the originals.

    Dane on 08.10.04
  13. NOOOOOO! I’ve heard enough Jango! A thou­sand clonetroop­ers! Not right…He sounded cool to begin with. I guess they’ll redo the Emperor too.
    His voice was dif­fer­ent in Ep5, I liked it better…the movies have gone down­hill since.

    Ghost12 on 08.10.04
  14. All though the old lines sounded F**king sweet i didnt like the fact that he Boba sounded like he had been smok­ing for 30 years straight. Just think about it, Hav­ing the voice of jango, who is EXACTLY like boba in every way makes it so much more realistic.

    Adam31 on 08.10.04
  15. I hate GL, He’s lost his freakin mind this time.…Everything we once wor­shipped in Fett is being undone. George why don’t you just put Boba on Queer Eye and give his armour a makeover too you crazy fool.. I’ll just keep watch­ing pirate dvd’s of the orig­i­nal tril­ogy from Bali instead of feed­ing Lucas more money for mess­ing with stuff that is DONE and GOOD. If it aint broke,Dont fix it.. U have to much power for a nut!!!

    Edgeguts on 08.11.04
  16. I have to agree that the voice change is kind of lame. Darth Vader sounds noth­ing like Anakin. Wouldn’t it stand to fig­ure that Fett would use some­thing to dis­guise his voice, since he would sound just like a hun­dred thou­sand clone sol­diers? And wouldn’t he dis­guise it in a way to make him­self more intim­i­dat­ing and give him an extra edge, sim­i­lar to Bat­man in the comic books? I don’t how­ever agree that the new his­tory for Fett changes things, though. Every­thing I’ve ever read regard­ing Fett has had his his­tory being that of Jour­ney­man Pro­tec­tor Jaster Mereel, or a Man­dalo­rian Com­mando, or a Stormtrooper before he became a bounty hunter. It also says that he inten­tion­ally keeps his his­tory pri­vate and some­times encour­ages these “false” past his­to­ries in order to keep him­self cloaked in mys­tery. When I first watched Episode II, I have to say that I, too, was at first kind of miffed, but then, when you think about it, it still all fits into con­ti­nu­ity. The Dark Horse comic “Jango Fett: Open Sea­sons” did a really good job help­ing to tie in a lot of the other Fett “his­to­ries” and how those sto­ries may have come about. Jango’s father was a Jour­ney­man Pro­tec­tor on Con­cord Dawn. Jango was taken in and trained by Jaster Mereel, leader of the Man­dalo­ri­ans, at the time. The orig­i­nal “Stormtroop­ers” were all clones of Jango. Boba Fett’s armor sup­pos­edly orig­i­nally belonged to Jaster Mereel (although that’s more hearsay, and noth­ing ¢Â€Â™ve actu­ally read yet). Plenty of his­tory and myth, that could get dis­torted over time, and each become a “past ori­gin his­to­ry” for Boba Fett. It all still doesn’t change the fact that Fett is “The Man” (both Fett’s). He still has the coolest armor than any char­ac­ter, and is still the bad­dest badass in the Star Wars universe.

    Sadriel Fett on 08.11.04
  17. Hey Gwen, you can also buy Pirated ones, like me. That way I get the orig. ver­sion on DVD and then see how bad Lucas screwes up his release!!

    NJBobaFett on 08.12.04
  18. I can’t even think of what to say. I’m just so… I’m going to read Star Wars: Tales of the Bounty Hunters and hope the tril­ogy doesn’t sell well.

    John on 08.12.04
  19. i cant beleive lucas has done this there is no need fett sounds amaz­ing. one ques­tion are all the stormtroop­ers in the orig­i­nal tril­ogy going to have there lines dubbed as well, cause he would have to. if he does im gonna chop off his feet and make him run!!!!!

    vader on 08.15.04
  20. this is re-goddam-diculous! any­one care to tell where i can get my hands on a pirated orig­i­nal tril­ogy on dvd instead of the horse shit lucas is pro­duc­ing? id really like to know. if any­one has info on that if u could email it to me itd be awesome

    ajfett on 08.15.04
  21. This is the end for the orig­i­nal Boba Fett we have grown to adore.

    R.I.P. Boba Fett 1980–2004

    ajfett on 08.15.04
  22. This sucks crap

    Joebob Jr. on 08.16.04
  23. Just To let you know this per­me­m­natly sucks

    I hate you george lucas

    Joebob Jr.s Friend on 08.16.04
  24. wtf man. that is so non1337.

    this is yet another rea­son why i’m boy­cotting the these dvds, and remain­ing true to my un-editted faded VHS ver­sion of the orig­i­nal trilogy.

    and you know he’s gonna have like 35189513 dif­fer­ent DVD ver­sions JUST to rip us off.
    he seri­ously doesnt do this for the love of star wars, he does it for the love of money.
    and he doesnt need any more than he’s already got! he’s just a greedy old son of a bitch!!!

    why does george lucas have to suck SO much?

    chelsinator on 08.17.04
  25. I was hop­ing they wouldnt do this.
    I love the OZ and NZ accents but on Bobafett nar, it turn’s star­wars into “pris­oner cell block H”

    Jabbae Horuus on 08.18.04
  26. When i heared the sample,it was like “WTF!!!This is NOT Boba Fett” i have the SE orig­i­nal Tril­ogy on VHS(ps., I live in Poland)And SW Demoli­ton and there Fett sounded so cool,silent and emo­tion­less like a Ninja.In the Bounty hunter wars,the voice fit­ted him great,but this SHIT is not BF.I’ll just stick with my VHS.
    FUCK YOU GL,YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    kamikaze on 08.18.04
  27. Yet another thing to prove that Lucas is absolutely clueless..

    Davion on 08.18.04
  28. i cant belive this, boba sounded so much bet­ter in the orig­i­nal movies and in the games. if they had no choice and had to replace his voice then they should of used the orig­i­nal guy or Tom Kane (did boba’s voice in most of the star wars games.)
    god knows what lucas was think­ing but he bet­ter change it back b4 the release date or im get­tin a vhs ripp of the old ver­sions and puttin them on dvd.

    graves on 08.21.04
  29. Well at least I can take the orig­i­nal from VHS and put it on DVD myself so I don’t have to relive Episode II every­time I wanna watch the good trilogy.

    matt on 08.21.04
  30. oh btw. Lucas is already replac­ing the actor who played the unmasked darth vader in Jedi with Hyden Chris­tion­son in the end where you see, him, yoda, and obi wan. That sucks too cuz in case lucas hasn’t noticed, Anikan didn’t die at age 20, if he had, DArth Vader would have just let luke be elec­tri­cuted to death.

    Matt on 08.21.04
  31. Don’t you think your all over react­ing a lit­tle bit. As a fan on the series, one ques­tion off many that I had was how would he deal with the voice dif­fer­ence between the old tril­ogy and the new. If Boba was a clone sur­ley he should have the same voice as Jango! It is some­thing GL had to do to fur­ther con­nect the tril­o­gys together. It’s this type of moan­ing and groan­ing that has stopped him from doing his orig­i­nal plan of mak­ing Episode 7,8 & 9.. Because he was sick of the pound­ing that he got from so called fan’s. If your a Star Wars fan, they surly more is bet­ter, and if that means some changes in pre­vi­ous movies to help them tie in then so be it.. You can’t just turn round and call Lucas a M/F when he has given you some­thing that you have grown up and enjoyed for so long, why else would you be get­ting so wound up about it — You all care for the series — So try back­ing him up once in a while and appre­ci­ate what he has given us and what is yet to come. I per­son­ally can’t wait for Episode III, and have been wait­ing for it to appear since A New Hope was released in 1977.

    Chris Stephens on 08.23.04
  32. …and the same bitch­ing that got him to not put the…hmm… was it back­street boys or n’sync now? in Ep 2?

    Y’know, I grew up with a lot of things that I thought were fan­tas­tic. Loved ‘em. Wished they’d go on for­ever. But then I got older and real­ized that unfor­tu­nately just because some­thing starts off good it doesn’t stay good. Things hap­pen, peo­ple change, etc etc etc. The best you can really hope for is to be left with good mem­o­ries of the things you did love. Well in this case the con­stant dick­er­ing plus the flat unavail­abil­ity of an orig­i­nal ver­sion vs the new new spe­cial edi­tions makes that impos­si­ble. That is the rea­son I com­plain. Just because some­one does some­thing good doesn’t mean that every­thing they do will be good or even that they in them­selves are good.

    Gwen on 08.24.04
  33. Where can you get the orig­i­nal tril­ogy on DVD? Not the new edited shite!!

    Please email me!!!!

    semi-skimmed on 08.25.04
  34. why the hell do they even have those accents? they should change the pre­quel actor’s voices. infact, why show boba’s damn face? why make him a retarded child? EPISODE TWO STATES BOBAFETT OUR HERO IS THE SAME LAME TRASH AS THESTORMTROOPERS MEANING HE WOULD BE KILLED IN EACH OF THEIR SIUATIONS. DO YOU KNOW WE ARE ALL FANS OF A CLONE WHO CANT SHOOT A PERSON AT KISSING DISTANCE THAT LAUGHS LIKE A RETARD WHEN CHASING JEDI THROUGH AN ASTEROID FIELD, WHO ISNT PRESICE CALCULATING OR EFFICIENT BLASTING EVERYTHING BUT THE JEDI, WHO IS FOOLED BY SOMEONE SIMPLY HIDING EVEN THOUGH HIS PROFESSION IS BOUNTY HUNTING WHO IS SMASHED TO CRAP BY A PACK OF LITTLE FURRY PRIMITIVE TEDDYBEARS WITH STONES WHILE ACTUALLY HAVING WEAPONSNOT TO MENTION WEAPONS OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, WHO SAW HIMSELF FLY DOWN TO GET HIS HEAD CUT OF BY A JEDI,AND YEARS LATER DO THE SAME MISTAKE OF ENGAGING AJEDI AT CLOSE RANGEWITH THE HELP OF TEN OTHERS, TO BE SWALLOWED AND VOMMITTED.
    YOU ARE ALL SHAMEFUL TO WORSHIP SUCH MAN

    jeffrey on 08.27.04
  35. Lucas messed these movies up so damn much, I would rather have the fetts left out of ep2, than have boba’s mys­te­ri­ous back­rounds be ruined by some half wit­ted idea by the fat­headed lucas. I hope you guys know he only added the fett story just because it was pop­u­lar, not because it was sig­nif­i­cant to the story. I know boba is not a really impor­tant char­ac­ter but I could of come up with some­thing bet­ter for him in ep2 than being a fruck­ing clone. Ooooooh, how cool is that!!!? Your favorite hunter that you’ve loved ever since you saw him in ESB turns out not to be the last of the badass man­dalo­ri­ans or even jaster mereel (i never really like that whole story of mareel) but it turns out he was just a clone of the last man­dalo­rian. Thats awe­some nice work lucas, i didnt think you could mess that one up, but guess what, you did. I really dont con­sider ep2 as fett his­tory, just because its so shitty.

    Tyler on 08.28.04
  36. Hey jeff,we here like the old­school boba fett,not that retard clone,but jester merrel(sp?).HE is our fav,the sym­bole of a BAD-ASS, BOBA FETT
    (ps. reed the books better.)

    kamikaze on 08.29.04
  37. Ps2.-I’m with tyler

    kamikaze on 08.29.04
  38. So every­one slag­ging GL off — you call your­selves fans? Please remem­ber that with­out the bearded flan­nel one there would be NO STAR WARS. It is HIS story made in HIS brain and HE can tell it the way HE wants. I may not like the story line I EPI, but I am grate­ful he made the film. So what if Boba has been voiced over, it makes sense to tie the films together.

    As for going on about Boba being crap now we know where he came from – have you watched EpII – obvi­ously not – Boba although a clone did not have any growth stim­u­lant (maybe this makes the clones a bit dopey) and he was raised by Jango not by a com­puter, so it is pos­si­ble that he is the tough, feared bounty hunter we have all come to love.

    Leave GL alone and be thank­ful for what we have got – it is moan­ing gits that have stopped him mak­ing ‘the last three’, so I blame all you crit­ics for that – thanks very much!

    Hibbs on 08.30.04
  39. Im sorry Hibbs but in my point of view Lucas has lost his touch, the most recent movies seem like lit­tle bits of story thrown into a cgi action movie. I hon­estly would rather have Lucas write or either hire a writer who’s not worn down, to write the first three episodes. I’m sorry, I’d rather have good story rather than good action scenes. The orig­i­nal movies had spirit, humor and good action, the new ones only have one of those. Hon­estly, how many of you actu­ally laughed at any­thing in the new movies, and if any­one says they thought jar jar was funny, may god have mercy on your poor poor soul.

    Tyler on 09.01.04
  40. OK man, i dont fully under­stand all this, aren the fetts clones or man­do­lo­ri­ans or what? and just 1 more minor thing, i know that Jango got his head cutt off by a jedi, but i cant remem­ber, did boba fett die? and if so how?

    Mike on 09.04.04
  41. This new voice-over sounds ter­ri­ble. Why change Fett’s voice? What is Lucas doing to the Trilogy?

    And I def­i­nitely agree with Tyler. “Lit­tle bits of story thrown into a cgi action movie” is about the best descrip­tion of the pre­quels I’ve ever heard. But I think the great­est thing about the orig­i­nals was the chem­istry among the cast, and not only between them­selves but also with their char­ac­ters. Every­one seemed to fit. Temuera Mor­ri­son was decent enough as Jango, pretty cold and dis­tant, but I think chang­ing the voice of Boba in the orig­i­nals is going way too far. It’s like, defil­ing some­thing sacred.

    Andrew W. on 09.05.04
  42. Wow, guess I’m in the minor­ity.
    I like the idea of Tem voice over. It gives it a con­sis­tency, and makes com­plete sense.

    I think George L is com­pletely on the money.

    I also think we need to remem­ber: Jango and Boba are orig­i­nals. The clones, while taken from that batch, have been altered, so they are not pure, like J and B.

    I do hope he does more movies. I never expected in my life­time to see the first three, so now I’d really like the remain­der. Must be my capri­corn ascen­dent or something.

    Ursula on 09.06.04
  43. I just lis­tened to the clip and it reminded me of something.

    Fett says “He’s no good to me dead.”

    Vader says “He won’t be per­ma­nently damaged”

    Alas, Vader lied, because Han came out even more of a wimp after car­bonite. Gone was the ass blast­ing dirt bag debt welch­ing spacer that owed Jabba some seri­ous cred­its, replaced was this mewl­ing gir­rlie man.

    Any­one feel like writ­ing some alter­nate his­tory fan fic where Solo falls to the saar­lac instead, ’cause that would make for good read­ing. And riddence.

    But, really like the clip. ;-)

    ursula on 09.06.04
  44. In response to Tyler – yes I did laugh at EPII (well groaned) at 3 PO’s one lin­ers. But there again ¢Â€Â™m now 34 years old not 7 as I was when I saw Star Wars and was hooked for life. Remem­ber GL has said all along that the films are made to be watched by a 12 year old – most of the fans orig­i­nally hooked now won­der why our kids laugh at Jar Jar, when we think he’s awful. To a kid he’s real and funny (ask my son’s).

    I can see peo­ples points that to alter Boba’s voice is wrong – but wouldn’t peo­ple also be won­der­ing why he doesn’t sound at all like Jango if it wasn’t done – espe­cially as we get to see and here clones talk in EPIII.

    It would be inter­est­ing to here what Jeremy B has to say about this.

    Hibbs on 09.07.04
  45. It sucks, I will per­son­ally KILL LUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    vader on 09.07.04
  46. He has destroyed my dream of SW Tril­ogy on DVD. He has destroyed the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. Now Boba Fett will go down by Lucas. Boba was not ment to be the: “Yeah let’s go to bussi­ness” but the chill­ing: “You will die.…”. Mor­ri­son doesn’t fit.

    vader on 09.07.04
  47. If you want to talk about con­sis­tency between the movies when it comes to Jango/Boba’s voices, why wouldn’t the orig­i­nal voice dic­tate the voice for AotC?

    Andrew W. on 09.07.04
  48. Sure it sucks and it’ll ruin the tril­ogy… but hey… he can make good rain, right? jesus, George lucas is the worst thing to hap­pen to star wars since after RotJ came out. He ruined the entire chem­istry behind anakin and padme, he screwed the whole cool­ness of the force, midichlo­ri­ans my left nut. the whole thing destroys so much of the mythos and mys­tery and he tries to link way tooo much stuff in, like why bother hav­ing R2 and 3PO in the films at all, like Obi-Wan wouldnt notice. I can pretty much count the good things about the pre­quels on my fin­gers. 1 Samuel L Jack­son, if only he’s had the chance to call Darth Maul a motherf***er, 2 Ewan Mac­gre­gor (screw the spelling), he really grew into the part of obi wan. Shit, thats it! way to go Mr. Lucas.

    Paul childs on 09.08.04
  49. My eng­lish is not very good, but theres is some­thing I really have to say about Boba Fett:

    The real Boba Fett, as we know him, has died long ago. The real Boba Fett was the guy from Episode 4–6.

    Now they have killed his cool past, his life and all that things that we liked!!

    I tell you some­thing every real Boba Fett fan all over the world should know:

    Episode 2 was the “Fall of a leg­end“
    The Boba Fett we knew is gone.

    -SW- on 09.08.04
  50. George lucas is the worst thing to hap­pen to star wars” — Get a grip tosser — Every­one needs to remem­ber that GL brought us Star Wars in the first place, and i for one am glad he has made the first 3. Now if every­one stops slag­ging him off can we get him to make the last 3 or are you all not inter­ested, thats what it sound like. Tell you what George foreget EpIII a lot of the fans don’t care and will only have a go at you. (What would we all say then — give the guy a break, he gave us Star Wars in the first place)

    hibbs on 09.09.04
  51. Wow wow wow … where’s your Fett’s spirit you fans ? You’re all hurl­ing to death and abus­ing Lucas as if he had killed your moth­ers, now calm down and think. Temuera Mor­ri­son is Jango Fett. Boba Fett is Jango Fett’s clone. There­fore, Boba Fett has to have Temuera Morrison’s voice, and that’s all, there’s no f*cking need to threaten any­one or to abuse some­one for that, this is log­i­cal, even if I was a first-hour fan I don’t care about all these changes Lucas is mak­ing. Why ? Because first it gives the films some new skin for the most antic­i­pated release ever, so there will be some­thing new to dis­cover, sec­ond, because it gives the whole story an entirely log­i­cal con­ti­nu­ity, third, because there’s noth­ing in the world that will force you to buy them if you don’t want to, then if you’re not happy, just go back to your VHS and keep your mouths shut, because you’re all mak­ing use­less noise here. Abus­ing Lucas only show that you’re just imma­ture self-centered peo­ple who have for­got­ten that Star Wars was Lucas’ oeu­vre and that HE DOESN’T OWE YOU SHIT about it. Even is the pre­quels have a def­i­nitely “CGI-type look”, I think they’re good and Lucas didn’t screw a thing about his story, which is HIS story and not yours, so stop say­ing he tells it badly, because the Star Wars story is not the Star Wars story you had imag­ined before Lucas’ vision of the whole thing, right ? Stop think­ing you’re the almighty pearls-of-wisdom-owners in the place, and think with cold-mind and with your eyes wide opened. Lucas is Star Wars cre­ators, he does what he wants with it, like it or not. He wants to make changes to make all the episodes tie in per­fectly ? then BE IT.

    Mandalorian Wrath on 09.10.04
  52. Temuera Mor­ri­son is Jango Fett. Boba Fett is Jango Fett’s clone. There­fore, Boba Fett has to have Temuera Morrison’s voice, and that’s all”

    Jeremy Bul­loch was Boba Fett long before Temuera Mor­ri­son was Jango Fett. Why should Morrison’s voice be dubbed over Bulloch’s? Why not dub Bulloch’s voice over Morrison’s? You say it’s log­i­cal, but your logic does not make sense. Why change the old to suit the new, when there was noth­ing wrong with the old in the first place? I mean, had there actu­ally been a real prob­lem with Boba’s voice from the orig­i­nals (i.e. the sound was dete­ri­o­rat­ing beyond repair) I could cer­tainly under­stand. I have no prob­lem with Temeura as Jango; he was per­haps one of the bet­ter cast­ing choices (with Ewan McGre­gor and Christo­pher Lee). But the dis­crep­ancy in voice could have been explained, for exam­ple, by an injury to Boba’s throat, per­haps in Revenge of the Sith. The change did not have to hap­pen; it could have been explained in a way that would not have upset any­one at all, per­haps in an extremely inter­est­ing way as well. But instead the easy path is taken, the seduc­tive path, the dark side.

No, you’re mix­ing things up … First, this is not Bulloch’s voice we hear in ESB, sec­ond, Jeremy Bul­loch, was the man wear­ing the mask, but he was NOT Boba’s face, like Temuera Mor­ri­son was Jango’s (and there­fore Boba’s), so it has noth­ing to do with Bul­loch. Sec­ond, I wouldn’t have said any­thing if Lucas had kept Boba’s “orig­i­nal voice” for the DVD release, I’m just say­ing that the fact he changed it does not make him­self a “moth­er­fucker”. I’m not say­ing this change HAD to be, I’m say­ing that the fact it’s there is noth­ing shock­ing and just improves the con­ti­nu­ity of the movies. Now per­haps some of you don’t give a f*ck about this con­ti­nu­ity, because they’re just too narrow-minded to think a lit­tle bit about Lucas’ moti­va­tions for that change (I’ve read that some of you were think­ing that it’s because he does not respect fans or because he hates Boba … pfff … bull­shit) before start­ing to launch abusals, but just try to think two sec­onds, objec­tively : Mor­ri­son IS Boba Fett as well as Jango, and there­fore, his voice over the orig­i­nal is noth­ing else that an improve­ment, I’m sorry for the bunch of you who are just in their “no-don’t-touch-Boba-you-can’t-do-that-it’s-murder” thing, but as I said before, noth­ing will force you to buy those DVD, but don’t open your mouth to pour your shit all over the place, abus­ing Lucas won’t make any­thing but show that you’re just too weak to think log­i­cally, as Boba would have cer­tainly done in the same case.
